Continuing Education Courses
Overview
Mediation Center offers several professional continuing education courses that are eligible for CE (Continuing Education) or CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credit. Continuing education courses can range from 1-30 hours, or credits, and each address a specific topic with a focus on providing practical tools for facilitating conflict resolution.
Our professional mediators and experienced instructors design and host courses that address a range of conflict resolution, mediation, negotiation, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) hot topics. Trainings are usually held virtually over Zoom but may sometimes be offered in-person. Examples of past and upcoming continuing education trainings include:
- Leveraging Psychological Types to Facilitate Collaboration
- Trauma-Informed Conflict Resolution
- Evaluative Mediation Skills
Mediation Center’s courses are helpful for lawyers, mediators, human resources professionals, and any other professional and apply in both personal and professional contexts.
If you have a suggestion for a continuing education course, please let us know: send an email to staff@mediationcentermn.org.
